Price: $20.00

Tracklist Samples
1	The Painted River Of Regrets

Description:

Issued as an edition of 500 copies in a full color book bound sleeve with 180 gram vinyl.  3 Decades of sound tracking the secret psychedeli-sphere has found Edward scoring an imaginary film. Edward’s music for the movie flows with measured, stygian force; the groaning rises punctuated by that old black magic that only Ka-Spel can conjure with the smallest of sounds permeating every wave. Loops trill and sigh within virtuoso keyboard cameos. A myriad of miniature minuets thread backwards and beneath the main thematic pulses. Edward’s dark ambience is non-ambivalent, however, which gives it a life’s breath beyond the realm of film music. The album certainly generates excitement as to what images might accompany such a skewed, sonic construction. But no movie is needed to find prophet from these starry sounds.

Tracklist Samples
1	Sand Like Skin
2	Beautiful Beast
3	Green & Cold
4	Wound Culture

Description:

Edition of 500 copies - Packaged in a heavy book bound LP sleeve on 180 gram vinyl. Warning: not recommended for listening in buildings without earthquake retrofitting: Nadja’s doom-fuzz may crack foundations and/or reduce nearby objects to jelly. However, Nadja, here performing a quartet of solo Aidan Baker covers, maintains a certain melodic balance within the throat-clearing guitar lurches which levitates the heavy, like the most graceful pterodactyl-flying-off-with-a-dead-baby-Icthyasaur you have ever seen. Especially when his voice cuts in, the low-end maraud transforms into a sweet continuo that seems like stoner-metal chewing on 4AD's ear. A grinding thump into the clouds which proves there ARE beautiful uglies.

Description:

Available in a custom made full color book bound 8 panel cd case. Featuring Aaron Moore (Volcano the Bear), Alexandre Bellenge, Arnaud Rivière, Dan Warburton in a four car pile up in two movements! Orchestral massacres in the dark. Textile’s percussive grenade bursts like Mani Neumeier threw Han Bennink at Milford Graves. TOR!!! From subtle to superlative, The Textile Orchestra lays concrete like Duchamp fixes plumbing: what remains in the smoldering ruins is pure art. Like a de-horned AACM, this monster snakes around with soft scratching sounds, whirs, squeaks, yells and electronic blurts (when it is not bearing down like the free jazz cavalry). Two long suites read like topographic maps tattooed on the backs of thoroughbreds in full gallop over a cliff (don’t worry, they have wings). A beautiful blur of fearless, precision sound sculpting with the occasional explosion.
